The Wonders of Winter Break

Not all wondrous, but much needed.

The Wonders of Winter Break
Andrew Dao

As winter break comes to a close, there are many things I probably could have done besides staying home 70% of the time. I have no regrets because half of that time was me trying to recover from the extraction of my wisdom teeth. Yikes. Other than that, I was mainly playing video games... No regrets at all.

The break was much needed for sure. One more final would have probably ended my life...just kidding haha, but you kinda get me. However, the greatest thing about break, at least in my opinion, is that It motivates me to go back to school. Staying at home, although relaxing, is very boring. There isn't much to do. Yeah, I could've gone out a little more and explored but I just didn't really have the time and money. If you are not excited to go back, I completely understand. I am a bit too comfortable back at home and I'm definitely going to miss it. Sadly for me, I won't be taking my Xbox to college because that would ruin my life. But anyways, it is for sure a bittersweet moment.

I would be leaving my privacy for being constantly surrounded by people.

I would be leaving the comfort of my parents for being more of an adult myself.

I would be leaving the satisfaction of driving for slower bike transportation.

I would be leaving my first home for my second home.

However,

I cannot wait to see the ocean and be so close to it.

I cannot wait to be surrounded by such loving people.

I cannot wait to do what I want.

Time goes by too fast to waste. If you still have break for the next couple of weeks, enjoy your family and friends. Enjoy the fresh home breeze or the breeze of wherever you are. Random story... Some guy stole my windbreaker I ordered online and I am so mad. Please don't steal It hurts, it really does. Anyways, hopefully I helped create a more positive outlook in the dawning of winter's end. Whether or not you relate to this entirely, I hope that nonetheless, you had a great break. Another perk of going back to school is that you will be motivated for the next break.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.

Singing is something I do all day, every day. It doesn't matter where I am or who's around. If I feel like singing, I'm going to. It's probably annoying sometimes, but I don't care -- I love to sing! If I'm not singing, I'm probably humming, sometimes without even realizing it. So as someone who loves to sing, these are some of the feelings and thoughts I have probably almost every day.
